tarina.jpgTarina is totally adoreable.

Look at her, she’s even rockin’ Lola-esque hair - pink-haired chicas rule!

Not only does Tarina look like she’s right outta cutesville, she makes the most fantastical colourful and inventive accessories that I defy any Pink Lady not to fall head over sparkly-glitter pump in love with.

“… We wanted to bring accessories made with the highest quality materials infused with color, sparkle, and unique design into the marketplace. And we believe that there should not be any rules when it comes to creating your own personal style…”

Tarina, we totes agree!
